It's Coming. ComicbookResources has the teaser image of what that is, but no word as to who is involved.





The return of the Phoenix. And all that implies.

So this is, what, the eighth or ninth time Phoenix has come back? I mean, I know she's called "Phoenix", but come on.

(One of these days I'd like to see Phoenix and Galactus both show up above Earth at the same time and get into a slap fight over who's going to destroy what.)

Technically Jean has only died twice, and those were in such short succession they might be best seen as part of the one cycle.

The first time, the Phoenix wasn't Jean and the real Jean was in a life support coccon. Jeanix later appeared to die, but the Phoenix was still around.

The first time she actually died was when IIRC Logan killed her to spare her a painful death and instead it activated the full power of the Phoenix.

The second time was shortly thereafter when Mag-not-o (I've given up trying to work out who the hell that was after the retcons) killed her with an EMP pulse to the brain.

Yawn. They can't even wrap up the current event efficiently, get it out the gate and let the dust settle before they start peddling the next turkey of an event, can they? And I like that, despite the presence of Aaron, practically everyone listed as talent probably has one or two events to their name. Can Bendis stop writing events and just do regular books, please? Every event he's done save for little bits of Siege have been turkeys.

I'm going against the majority here it seems but I can't wait. The first ever X-Men comic book I read was The Phoenix saga, back in the days when I only knew Spider-Man, Punisher and maybe that riddick guy with a shield (what a clown). It made me fell in love with Nightcrawler X-Men and while the love eventually died, Phoenix stayed with me as the ultimate X-Men experience.

Bring it on.

...no, see, I'm in the same boat. I love the Phoenix Saga. It's one of the first comics I read and to this day, is one of my favorite stories, period.


The big problem is that the past few Phoenix stories have been lackluster at best and that's kinda killing any anticipation I might have for the new story.

Oh boy Jean is coming back... or at least they'll explain why Hope has the Phoenix thing in her eye (remember that little detail WAY BACK?).... it's the latter, they'll never bring back Jean: otherwise will miss out all the cheap, pointless, shallow bed scenes with Scott and Emma, the X-Men comics won't be the same without that, afterall: Why should the leaders and representers of Mutant Kind act with some moral in their lives, such as having sex with someone who isn't his wife whom he has a deep connection with and is lucky enough to have her again in spite of her deaths, something most people WISH that would happen to them for just once....

Scott already unceremoniously dumped the MOTHER OF HIS CHILD years before this. He's not exactly a nice guy.

Frankly, he barely deserves Emma.

Don't care, won't buy it. Not just because I stopped caring about that cosmic-powered parrot and its redheaded Mary Sue host years ago, but because going by the list of the creators there it won't be well-written.

Well, if and when Jean comes back, what I'd want is for her to wind up on Logan's team (and consequently, with Logan). She was headmistress of the school for a time, and she'll probably find it sweet that Logan re-named the school after her.

And maybe we'll finally see the end of one of the longest-ever cases of blue balls in the Marvel Universe.

Can we pleas,e please let one event finish before starting the next one, Marvel? Just one year of normal stories that let the dust settle before ANOTHER big shake up for the mutants?

Also, just to bitch a bit more on something completely unrelated because it's suddenly on my mind. How many new X-Men were introduced in the whole of the 80's? Maybe 6? In the 90's? Maybe 8?

In 2000's? 30+ easy. Jesus Christ, Marvel. Do we always need moar new characters? It seems every writer insists on introducing a new x-man. And, while some time it really works out, I just think that the overall roster to date is getting a bit long.

I'm not sure how you're counting, but I think you're drastically underestimating the amount of characters created in the 80's. (I wouldn't know about in the 90's).

Are we sure that this is about Jean?

Isn't that the same Phoenix fire they used in the background of the teasers they used to introduce Generation Hope?

It could just be Hope finally getting the Phoenix Force and proving Bishop right.

From: [personal profile] paradoxrealm
This is my wish too.
Mostly as a: I loved Bishop as a character since he appeared right up until they decided to turn him fruit loops
2: I also like Emma Frost and really do not want to see the split up if Jean returns
d: It'd be nice to see someone else in full control of the Phoenix force to try and drive some new direction for Phoenix stories.
